3 Ultimate Mr Heater Hacks (Simple Buddy Heater Modifications)

Thermal fans are fan-tastic. I stuck two on top of my fireplace insert and the heat output was amazing. Great video! 😊

This was a great video thanks for posting. I just ordered my 1st buddy heater and have been trying to remember what that fan was. So when I saw the picture I watched your video. Did enjoy it. Thanks again. 👍🏻

Been using the grill hack for years. Wrapping leftovers in alum foil, and bringing them with you makes a nice hot meal, instead of a cold sandwich.

Good video. Another hack is to use a 5 gallon bucket grid (for paint rollers) as a shelf for the fan. It locks perfectly to the handle of my Big Buddy heater.

Well done production thank you very much for your efforts. Regards to my mr. Heater little buddy, I'm trying a new method I'm putting 3 cement blocks in front 12in away to pick up the radiant heat and lock it into the cement, retaining heat but also slowly delivering it into the atmosphere around me. The fan is a must that you demonstrated. I forgot about those , brilliant! And the emergency grill for the little buddy perfect!

Thank you so much for sharing. This device would have made the two years I lived in a van much more bearable in the winter.

A fan atop my Buddy is what it needed to make it my Best Buddy!! Thanks

Awesome video Drew, always appreciate you sharing your tips and tricks and knowledge in general. Keep em coming. Take care. Don

Thermal fans work so well. I bought the buddy too. I was looking at how to incorporate the two.. Thanks This idea will come in handy.

Love the video man! Thank you for sharing my channel and I'm glad the hack worked out for you. I've been doing it for a couple of years now and thought I'd share it with the outdoor community that I love. Safe travels man and keep up the cool videos!

love this channel. good to see the sponsorship of a solid channel and such a professional and authentic endorsement of squarespace tastefully integrated into video.

i use the Mr B heater in my pantry in an addition to my house that we keep quite cold. we bought the fan and ours came with a top mounting clip to use. It works like a charm, keeps the entire room (a converted bedroom_ maybe 12 x 15?) well above freezing. a 20 pound propane tank lasts for months, even in 50 below months! we love them!

Love it! Just stumbled across this. I have been trying for a year to get more of the heat out into the tent and less heating up the top of my rooftop tent. I set the buddy heater on an ammo can to get it off the tent floor, but was unsuccessful in all previous attempts. This stove fan idea is brilliant!

Was just going to build a portable diesel heater for my Ford Explorer .. but while checking things I ran across this .. and I have a Little Buddy .. I ordered the T fitting and 11 lbs tank from Amazon for $96 .. I like that tank .. good platform for the heater! Thanks

I love your videos! I really enjoy your prospectives on minimal setups and would like to see your ideal build on a minimalist cargo trailer build. I currently live in a 6x10 cargo trailer and I’m always rearranging my build the “perfect” setup! ✌️ Take care!

Awesome! Thanks for great tips! Happy camping days and nights.

I have an autowit. Its amazing! It lasts through summers and winters unlike batteries. The super capacitor is much more tolerant of high low temps.

I'm so happy I found your video. I am not out in Alaska nor am I going camping but I wanted some sort of heating option for when the electricity goes out. For some crazy reason when the electricity goes out, it goes out for three days. It's hard to find a hotel to go with two dogs. We have camped out in our house but it got too cold. I just purchased a Mr. Heater but the fan will surely make a difference. Thank you!!!!

We just did a snow camping trip, and I picked up one of those fans for the buddy heater. I keep it on the floor of the tent under a table, and I used to use a heat reflector. The fan was enough to move 100% of the rising heat out into the tent and we didn't need the heat reflector any more. Using a fluke thermometer we found the temp under the table directly above the fan, and above the table was exactly the same. Before the fan, the temp under the table was hitting 150F and rising. I cant believe that they haven't come up with a fan attachment for these yet. GREAT suggestion.

Awesome fan hack on the Mr. heater. Just got my fan in from Amazon and tested it. Worked like magic. To make this hacks simpler just snip the top wire on the fan protector and use that gap to slide in the fan. That way you don’t have to cut the base of the fan. The metal wire will hold the fan in place through tension. Just snip in the middle with a wire snippers and then bend back.
